Open Studio at Shady Lea

Join the artists and businesses at Shady Lea Mill in welcoming the holidays at the 9th annual Holiday Open Studio on Sunday, Dec. 3, from noon to 6 p.m. Visit the studios and chat with the artists. Have a cup of cider or a piece of pie and spend time getting to know the people who are part of this vital arts community in North Kingstown.

From painters and potters to glass blowers and handbag designers, Shady Lea Mill is home to boundless creative energy.

Nine years ago, Andy Reisert made a commitment to offering studio workspaces to artists and today the tenants represent many of the fine arts, screen printing, glass blowing, sculpting, quilting and more. This year, the Holiday Open House is held in honor and loving memory of Mr. Reisert who passed away earlier this year.
